This Popular Burger Restaurant Is Coming Soon To Utah And We Can Hardly Wait

If you’ve ever traveled to some of America’s big cities, you may have enjoyed a burger and shake at Shake Shack. This New York-based fast food eatery has long been popular on the east coast, and has expanded throughout the country. The company recently came out with an exciting announcement: they’re opening a restaurant right here in Utah. Keep reading for more details!

On the corner of 11000 S. and State Street in Sandy, you'll find an old brick building that's been vacant for more than a decade. Built in the 1930s, the halls of Crescent Elementary were once full of young students. The building served as Valley High School from the 1970s to 2008.

This historic building is about to get a long-needed makeover. A four-building development that keeps the historical integrity of the school intact is underway, and Shake Shack is the first business to sign a contract for space here.

One of Manhattan's iconic spots, Shake Shack started as a small hot dog cart in Madison Park in 2001, then added a small, permanent shack there in 2004. From there, the restaurant has grown to include more than 130 locations across the country.

So, what makes this little fast-food restaurant so special? It starts with the 100% Angus beef that's carefully sourced. The beef is raised on vegetarian feed, and never given any hormones or antibiotics. The rest of the burger is also constructed with locally-sourced produce and buns.
